Change data base location – Exchange 2003

I am back to my loved blog after a long time during which I had a vacation and couple of Migrations . I was really exited about the SBS 2003 to exchange 2010 one , It was delivered in time without any glitches. I will cover that in coming posts.

Lets talk about something simple , moving exchange database location in Exchange 2003. You will need to do this if the drive with exchange database is running out of space.

Preparation

1. Create two new folders named MDBdata & MDBdata1 on the drive where you need to move the database. Make sure the NTFS permissions are same as c:\program files\exchsrvr\MDBdata
